Turning radius will be bigger but... who cares? _________________ www.super2cv.com Back to top milka Snailer Joined: 26 Oct 2007 Posts: 46 Location: britanny Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 4:30 pm    Post subject: Nice project! but won't it be slower with so little wheels? _________________ camille Back to top stefan Dropped Joined: 25 Aug 2007 Posts: 257 Location: holland Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 4:34 pm    Post subject: yes 145r15 ettiene. that is also a option narrow the front axle and i don't give a f#ck about a turning radius ,acually it is a very good option than i can adjust the king pin angle at the same time so the steering will be not so heavy _________________ Back to top stefan Dropped Joined: 25 Aug 2007 Posts: 257 Location: holland Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 4:37 pm    Post subject: yes it will be slow but if i want to go fast i take a ride on my motorbike 0 - 100 km/u in 3,5 sec _________________ Back to top milka Snailer Joined: 26 Oct 2007 Posts: 46 Location: britanny Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 7:37 pm    Post subject: that's right I forgot it was a snail... _________________ camille Back to top Bart Lowered Joined: 17 Jun 2007 Posts: 783 Location: Södertälje Posted: Sun Dec 09, 2007 7:39 pm    Post subject: Quote: well you take a 2cv wheel and cut the inside out of it. then take any 13'' wheel and cut also the inside out of it and than make the inside part of the 2cv wheel fit inside the 13'' wheel and than weld the 2cv inside on the outside of the 13'' wheel. of course a lttle bit straight. Okay, clear. Do you turn the 2cv rim centre and 13 inch rim ring to the right diameter on a turning bench? or did you just do that with a hand grinder and tried to get it as accurate as possible? And how did you make sure the ring and centre where alinened and set the wished ET value/offset?
